ASHWAUBENON, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) – Many in our area donated blood Wednesday, in the hopes of giving the gift of life to others.
This was the second day of the American Red Cross’ “Winter Holiday Blood Drive” in Ashwaubenon.
The organization set a goal of 45 pints of blood.
Officials tells FOX 11it’s tougher in the winter months to find donors because of busy holiday schedules.
“It is a critical time around the holiday period, people are traveling, but that doesn’t mean collections can stop. Our patients in the hospital still need them,” said Jessica Brabant. She helps with the Red Cross.
The Red Cross blood drives will take place every day to cope with the need for blood.
